Three Ukrainians have not returned to Ukraine after a tour of Finland with the Lviv Opera ballet troupe, according to reports in the Ukrainian media.
Two of them are conscription-age men who need special permission to exit the country. The ballet company toured Estonia and Finland in February with their Don Quijote performance, playing in Helsinki on 15 February.
The show was due to be performed in Lviv on Friday, but two dancers and the ballet master did not arrive back in the western Ukrainian city.
The opera company confirmed the news to the local Tvoemisto news website, and the individuals' names have been removed from the website of the opera house.
